Polyorchidism: A Case Report and Review of the Literature.

Poliorşidizm: Bir Olgu Sunumu ve Literatür Derlemesi. (Turkish)

Polyorchidism is defined by the presence of more than two testicles. It is a very rare anomaly. In this paper, we report a case of polyorchidism that presented as a painless scrotal mass. Undrained types require histological evaluation. Increased risk of malignancy should be taken into consideration in patients with nonscrotal supernumerary testes. We did not recommend any treatment to our patients who had scrotal supernumerary testicle and two children and decided to follow-up with scrotal ultrasound. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Poliorşidizm, ikiden fazla testisin varlığı olarak tanımlanır. Çok nadir görülen bir anomalidir. Bu yazıda ağrısız skrotal kitle ile ortaya çıkan poliorşidizmli bir olgu sunuldu. Drene olmayan fazladan testisler histolojik değerlendirme gerektirir. Nonskrotal yerleşimli poliorşidik hastalarda artmış malignite riski göz önünde bulundurulmalıdır. Skrotal poliorşidizmi ve iki çocuk sahibi olan hastamıza herhangi bir tedavi önermedik ve skrotal ultrasonografi ile takip etmeye karar verdik. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
